Chapter 6

He took off his suit jacket and put it on the back of the chair. The cuffs of the white shirt were slightly folded, revealing his strong forearms. Unlike the fair and handsome appearance that the public likes nowadays, Lucas's face complexion is whitetish. His sword eyebrows are deep but not rugged. His nose is pointed and his thin lips are sexy. At this moment, he holds a cigarette in his left hand and lights it with a lighter in his right hand. Soon, that cold face was blurred by the satin-thin smoke. "Mr. Johnson, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time." Sandy didn't expect that only Lucas would come to talk to her about the Galaxy Bay project. Facing this man alone is more stressful than she thought. "By the way, I am Sandy, director of Steves’ design department and I am currently responsible for the design of the Galaxy Bay project. This is my preliminary design plan. You can modify it if you see something that is not suitable." After introducing herself, Sandy took the opportunity to push the first draft to Lucas. She just let go and when the man in front of him suddenly raised his head, a smoke ring just suffocated her face. Sandy coughed as she was choked by the smoke and her heart tightened when she met his eyes like the dark night sky. Lucas only glanced at the drawing, then closed it. His brows look indifferent. "I thought we haven't seen each other for two years. You must at least say a few polite remarks to me first." He spoke abruptly. The line of his cold chin lifted slightly and a shadow was reflected in the light in his eyes, which made him look a little cold. "Uh..." Sandy was taken aback for a moment, and then came back to her senses. She thought he was noble and busy and he hadn't remembered a little girl for a long time, but she didn't expect that he seemed to... still remember her? There was a flash of embarrassment in her expression, "Mr. Johnson, when I was young, I acted impulsively and recklessly. Please don't mind me, Mr. Johnson." "Really? Do you think you were impulsive and reckless when that happened back then? I don’t think so. Does it mean you regret it? " The man puts out the cigarette butts in the ashtray at will. His actions are mature and elegant. Especially his five fingers, they're slender and distinct. Involuntarily, Sandy suddenly thought that when she was held in the elevator today, it was the hand that was placed on her waist... With a blushing face, Sandy's eyebrows frowned, "Mr. Johnson, you should also know that the Smith family is completely different from the Johnson family. I know I am not worthy of Mr. Johnson and Mr. Johnson also sees it. If you come to me, I wouldn't refuse the Johnsons' proposal at the beginning. It doesn't matter if I regret it now." Back then, the two old men of the Johnson family didn't know what was going on. They suddenly fell in love with Sandy and said they wanted her to marry their grandson, Lucas. Sandy was taken aback, and she was so focused on Henry at that time, so she refused directly without even thinking about it. The reason for rejection is that he is too big and they will not be happy. They are ten years apart in age. Sandy thought that this was a good reason at first, but she didn't expect to meet Lucas again and discuss projects under his hands. However, Sandy did not want to recall the past at this time and immediately continued, "President Lucas, it is better to take a look at my design first, my design draft—" Lucas interrupted her directly, "I heard that Henry was spending a lot of time outside, but you didn't ask about it. Is this what you call happiness?" There was a click of a lighter in the private room. Lucas had already lit the second cigarette. He held a cigarette between his index finger and middle finger on his left hand and casually pulled his tie with his right hand, but his face remained expressionless. Sandy's professional smile finally stiffened. She seemed to know the purpose of a man to see her alone. After she rejected the Johnsons' proposal that year, her friend Tanya thought she was stupid, and she let off such a good opportunity for nothing, and offended the Johnsons because of it. But she thinks she didn't like the man Lucas and was even a little afraid of him. In that case, why bother to be together. But she didn't want to say this kind of thing in front of a man. No longer wanting to be ridiculed by him, Sandy simply stood up, "Since Mr. Johnson doesn't want to talk to me about the Galaxy Bay project, then I won't bother." She was about to leave, and when she turned around, she was breathing faster than usual because of depression. "If Mr. Steves doesn't want Galaxy Bay anymore, then you can leave." Behind him came a man's unsavory words. Lucas's voice is clear but his simple words are even more stressful. Sandy's feet were a little heavy, and when she turned her head, she saw the man opening and closing the lighter. Those dark eyes looked at her straight through the flames that seemed like nothing and their eyes seemed to be careless, but there was a hint of coolness. Sandy couldn't help but said, "Mr. Johnson, I hope our private grievances will not affect the normal business of the two companies. Today I came for the Steves Corporation and wanted to cooperate with the Johnson’s."
